How to find gardening bargains
Doing up your garden to enjoy on warm and sunny days needn't cost the earth.
Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to get a top deal on items for the garden…
You can bag big savings on plants, shrubs and flowers, as well as gardening tools and furniture.
Many retailers have flash sales across entire seasonal ranges – often these promotions tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout.
Sign up to mailing lists of your favourite brands and you'll be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
Use a price comparison site to search out the best value items.
And keep a close eye on the specialbuys at Aldi and middle of Lidl drops which drop a couple of times a week and usually mean great value seasonal items for your outdoor areas.
If you are not in a hurry to buy an item, try adding it to the shopping cart online and leaving it for a couple of days.
Sometimes big brands will try to tempt you into the sale by offering you a discount.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying.
It's especially worth using sites such as Topcashback, Quidco and app Jamdoughnut when buying bigger ticket items such as garden furniture as you'll get a nice kickback.
This works out at just 15p per plant.
Unsurprisingly, Julia was so impressed with her find that she picked up two packs.
Antirrhinums are cheerful annual plants, guaranteed to brighten up flower borders and containers.
Commonly known as snapdragons, they are hailed by garden experts as easy-to-grow, old-fashioned cottage garden plants, beloved by children and bees.
They come in a variety of colours and heights, and therefore can be grown in a variety of situations.

‘I'll be here all summer' shoppers say as they race to snap up £17 Amazon buy that's perfect for getting a tan
SUMMER is nearly upon us and shoppers are already stocking up on an essential buy that could be perfect for cooling off. Sun worshippers have been sharing how they are buying bargain 'tanning pools' to lie in and get a golden glow. 3 People have been sharing their epic tanning bed set ups with Kindles and snacks Credit: TikTok/jessicaaknowsbest TikTok user She also added some snacks and a drink so she had everything she would need without needing to move. On her video, which has racked up over 115,000 views, she said: 'I'll be here all summer. 'Till further notice.' More on summer buys Many people were very jealous of her summer set-up and were quick to comment on the video. One said: 'This is perfection.' Another tagged their friend, and wrote: 'This is what we need since we both don't have a pool.' A third asked: 'Where might one acquire the pool!!!??' Most read in Fabulous While Jessica is based in the US, the UK has a number of versions of the tanning pool on Amazon. The retailer is selling a £17.99 I've found the perfect summer top from M&S, and I'm even more excited now I can finally shop there online again Measuring 73cm long and 120cm wide, it is said to be perfect for 'staying cool' in the garden as a 'splash pool.' Book worms can also get comfy as the pillow provides 'additional neck and back support.' It is said to be made from a strong, 'UV resistant PVC', to help it stay inflated for longer. 3 You can get your own tanning bed for £17.99 on Amazon Credit: Amazon 3 The tanning bed is available on next day delivery Credit: Reuters One person who gave it a five-star rating said: 'Love this! Was so easy to blow up, so nice to cool down in on a hot day, very comfy.' Another added: 'Works great to keep me cool while getting sun.' The bed is available on Amazon Prime, so it can be delivered within just one day if you wish. There is also a 30-day window for returns if you change your mind. Keep bugs out of your pool this summer One of the easiest ways to keep bugs out of your pool is to cover it with a dark sheet (like bin bags) when it's not in use. This can also help keep the water warm for kids as well. Bug traps around the pool can also be useful. To naturally stop bugs from coming around you can plant such as lavender, basil or mint as they hate the smell.
